Cross Fire

The first person shooter that became a worldwide sensation.

CrossFire was created by SmileGate and published by Neowiz. It is a first-person shooter game you can play on Microsoft Windows. The first release date was May 3, 2007, though you will see numerous releases after that date as the game has been frequently updated. The Korea Herald claimed that in 2014 the game was worth $1.3 billion. Since it started in 2007, it has earned over $4.5 billion revenue, and there have been as many as 50 million active users at one time.

What Weapons Can You Use

The weapons are pretty conventional. There is nothing experimental, futuristic or alien. Each weapon belongs to a category that is present in the game, and each is based on real-life models. Certain modes have mode-exclusive weapons. The weapons you may use include:

• Machine guns
• Grenades
• Submachine guns
• Sniper rifles
• Shovels
• Flashbangs
• Smoke grenades
• Assault Rifles
• Shotguns
• Combat axes
• Knives
• Fisticuffs
• Pistols

The weapons also perform the same as they would in real life. For example, a pistol is easy to use and great for close combat, as is the shotgun, but the shotgun is poorer at longer distances.

The Modes You Can Play In

There are a lot of modes in CrossFire, and each of the modes has different maps and playing rules. The aim is to seek out and destroy your opponents, and the fun thing is that you can do it in teams or on your own. Some of the modes are quite creative. For example, there is a zombie mode where you start with a lot of health and have to infect other people and absorb dead zombies in order to mutate. There are also more commonly seen modes such as the team death match or elimination mode.

Referenced In Futurama

The game that some of the Futurama cast play is called “of World of World War II 3.” it is believed to be the 3011 version of CrossFire as it plays in a very similar manner. It also uses the types of weapons we use today, though it also features Nazi Germans (for comic effect). There is also a joke about the cast members Bender & Cubert, as well as Igner, Larry and Walt being beaten by “A couple of Korean girls.” This is an insider joke for Crossfire players.

It firstly references the fact that the game CrossFire was created in South Korea, and secondly references the fact that there are so many fantastic players in Asia that even young girls are beating the best that the US has to offer.

If You Haven’t Tried It…Then Do!

The game is free to play, and there is not a big learning curve. Sure, you will learn a few new manoeuvres and tactics as you go along, but to start with, all you have to know is how to point and shoot. The game is free to play, which means if you don’t like it then don’t play it. The most annoying part is simply the fact that some people have spent months building up their experience and are very good to the point where they will murder you--but they have to sleep some time. If your gamer’s ego can withstand the occasional bruising, then you may learn to love this game.

Cross Fire is a first-person shooter game that includes action sequences taking place on realistic battlefields. Fans of Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and similar games will like this one just as much as those other games.

Though the download and installation times for this game are a little long, many players don't mind waiting because they love playing it so much. The first time you play, you need to choose a side to join. You can play as a SWAT officer from America, an OMOH soldier from Russia, or an SAS officer from Britain. The character you play will determine your overall story line and the type of weapons you can choose. While you can change characters later, you generally want to choose one you feel comfortable playing for the first few levels.

Cross Fire is an online multi-player game that asks you to choose the type of game you want to play before selecting a battle to join. Team Death Match puts you on a team and asks you to play against another online team. Instead of bringing you back to life after you die, the game only ends when one team eliminates all the players on the other team. You'll usually find more people on the Team Death Match servers than the other servers.

Search and Destroy is another option. This level gives you a series of objectives that include specific items and locations you must find on the map. You'll get points each time a teammate destroys one of those objects. The game also includes an elimination mode that asks your team to slowly eliminate players on the other team and a ghost mode. In ghost mode, one of the two teams play as characters covered in cloaks. Instead of using guns, they use knives to dispatch other players. If you play on the other team, you must kill those cloaked characters before they can kill you.

You start out at a lower rank, but the game lets you move up through the ranks as you complete missions and score more points. It's much easier to advance through the lower levels than the upper levels. You may notice that some servers operate slower than others and that you can only gain access to some levels and weapons through game points that you buy with real cash. If you can get over those flaws and the somewhat outdated graphics though, you'll find a fun and challenging game in Cross Fire.
